Interesting Report From the Ma
tionaI Convention by Mrs. Win
chelI.
The ladies of the w. c. I. q. met in
the rooms of the Gospel Temperance
union yesterday afternoon and listened
to a very interesting address by Mrs.
Prof. Winchell, of Minneapolis. In
November last the national convention
of the w. c. Il. u. was held at Nash
vile, Tenn. and Mrs Winchell was one
OF the Minnesota delegates. Her talk
was on the convention, largely descrip-
tive and Overlooking with pretty little
incidents of the meeting and the wei
come extended all by the Southern peO-
pie. She said that Nashville was de-
cidedly pretty place, and did not try to
occupy all the ground within the limits
by scattering the houses and business
blocks. The residence portion is close
to the business center. They were
given free use of an elegant large
church, and were entertained at the
finest hotel in the city. Fresh flowers
were sent them every day by the peO-
ple. in every conceivable design. After
giving a brief synopsis of the principal
addresses and business meetings,
she gave highly interesting account of
the reception rendered the convention
bv Col. and Mrs Cole and Mrs. PreSi-
dent Polk, and a pleasing feature of
Mrs. Winchell'S address was the reading
of clippings from the Nashville papers
commendatory of the convention. The
ladies of Nashville having made ar
rangements for visit to
THE NATIONAL. CEMETERY
at MurfreeSboro, many of the ladies
ayailed themselves of the opportunity,
and kneeling by the graves the mother
and sisters of the blue and the gray
clasped hands and prayed Gods bless
ing on a united country.
Mrs. Webber. state superintendent of
work among lumbermen- made an earn
est appeal for aid in the work.
Mrs. Condit spoke of the necessity OF
a reading room for women. 1t was de-
cided to have table supplied with lit
erature placed in the parlOr OF the Cos
pei Temperance union for their use. An
especial invitation will also be extended
to them to attend the New Years Tecep-
ton to be given at the rooms.
Mrs. Brinckerhoff and Mrs. Tanning
were appointed on relief work. The
committee appointed to wait on city and
county officials, and others, in reference
to the appointment of matrons for Jails
and police headquarters, reported that
the matter was being agitated. The Ia
dies are much interested in the subject
and will insist that matrons be APP
pointed.
In the rooms hangs an elegant satin
prize banner, trimmed with gold, and
the inscription I'VE wage our peaceful
war for God and Home" and the mono
gram W. c. T. U. thereon. in hand
painted letters. 1t was presented to the

MUST FURNISH CARS.
The Commission Quotes the Law
on a Complaint Against the Mil
waukee Road.

Waukee Road.
Yesterday morning the railroad COM
missionerS received a communication
from Hon. Frank A. Day, of FairmOnt
reclting the fact that the Milwaukee
had refushed to furnish cars to be load
ed with grain from wagons or SledS, and
appealing to the commission for assist
ance. The commissioners at once be
stirred themselves, and early in the aft
ernOon mailed two letters, One to Senator
Day and the other to General Manager
Roswell Miller, of the Milwaukee. The
letter to Senator Day calls his attention
to section of the Minnesota railroad
law passed last winter, which says:
whenever any railway company doing
business in this state shall be unable,
from any reasonable cause, to furnish
cars at any railway station or Sidetrack,
in accordance with the demands made
by all persons demanding cars at such
stations or sidetraCkS, for the shipment
of grain or other freight, such cars as
are furnished shall be divided as equally
as may be among the applicants until
each shipper shall havereceived at least
one car" The lester further advises
that the agent of the railroad at that
point be given his option between obey
ing the state law or the order of the
company, and that if he refuse to di

Miller briefly calls his attention to the
alleged order received by the agent at
FairmOnt, closing with the following
emphatic statement: 1.-THE day for
secret orders has, we believe, with
drawbacks and determinations against
persons and places, gone forever"

THEY FOUND THE CASH
Which Was Taken From j. Nj.
POttgeiser's Store on Rice

POttgeiser's Store on Rice
Street.
Tuesday last pocketbOok containing
s135 in cash and two checks for $40 and
$1,000, respectively, was stolen from the
drawer of Joseph NJ. Pottgeiser's store
on North Rice street. Suspicion at
tached to William Moran, young man
twenty-one years old, whose father is a
contractor, and who was employed in
the construction of a dwelling house
directly in the rear of Pottgeiser's store.
Young Moran had habit of entering
the store by the rear door, and making
himself familiar with the crackers and
cheese. Yesterday warrant was
sworn out for his arrest, and he con-
fessed to the theft when the paper was
served. He gave back S35 of the money
and the two checks, saying he had spent
the rest. The pOcketboOk was found
where he ''planted" it, under the new
house. Young Moran's father claimed
that he was suffering from typhoid
fever, and procured physicians certi-
ficate that he was too sick to be moved.
Accordingly, Moran, ST., came to the
central station last night, and executed,
in the presence of Judge Cory and
Clerk Ahern, bond for $1,000 for his
sons appearance to answer the charge.

He Disavows Some Statements At
tributed to Himself

To the Editor of the Globe.
May ask the privilege of correcting
remarks attributed to me in to-day's
paper. 1t would be quite impossible for
me to say that any person or persons
would make themselves liable to the
charge of perjury by swearing to two
different statements, one of which must
be false. Other remarks in this and
other articles do not at all represent
my views, but L only take the time to
distinctly disavow the above.
The tendency Ill the published pro-
ceedings of the private bankers and in
the comments thereon, is to place me in
an attitude of hostility to them which
do not at all feel. Respectfully yours,
HENRY NJ. Knox.

MIR. WELLS STATEMENT.
To the Editor of the Globe:
Your report of the proceedings of the
bankers convention" yesterday credits
me with saying that the attorney gent
eral seemed to be Withholding his opin-
ion at the suggestion of Bank Examiner
knox," etc. This is mistake; what |
did say was embodied in report sub
mitted in writing, and in substance that
Gen. Cole had advised the committee
''that the attorney general had not yet
prepared his opinion, but that he had
stated to Examiner Knox that there
were objections to the law, and that he
had better not try to enforce it, to which
Mr.. Knox assented."
| was we'll understood that Mr.. Knox
had become satisfied of the uncOnStitu-
tionality of the act and was anxious
that the opinion of the attorney general
should appear as requested by the
governor, in order that the bankers in
the state might be advised of their
duties and obligations under the act,
and act accordingly.
1t was not claimed or stated that
there was any desire on the part of the
examiner, or any one, to suppress or
withhold the opinion, but to the con-
trary. Its publication is very much de-
sired by all, the examiner included, in
order that the bankers may protect
themselves by complying with the terms
of the act if it be sustained. Yours re-
spectfully, III. r. WELLS.
